• The biggest problem with our generation is
  that we are paying too much attention to food,
  lifestyle and exercise and therefore conveniently
  depriving nutrition to our body. In the name of
  health and fitness, we are pushing away good food
  and are eating something that looks like food.
  Instead of trying to stay fit and flaunt those
  abs or curves, just concentrate on eating right
  and maintain a balance between nutrition and
  health.

• To begin with, let's just get to know a few
  nutrition facts that have always been projected

• Fresh fruits contain natural sugars and
  dietary fiber that prevent constipation and
  provide the body with decent doses of Vitamin C.
  But juices are usually diluted, and consumed with
  added sugar so the minute amount of nutrition
  which we get doesnt make up for the lost natural
  fiber or the loaded sugar content. A fruit a day
  is better than juice any day!

• Curd And Yogurt Are Not The Same

8

choices

• No! Curd contains very minute amounts of live
  bacteria but plenty of lactic acid. That's why it
  acts as a great body coolant but cannot treat gut
  disorders. But yogurt on the other hand contains
  essential strains of live bacteria that cleanse
  the intestines and stomach and heal diarrhea too.

• Weight loss diets don't work
• Except depriving your body of nutrition,
  diets that are aimed at shedding weight will not
  help. All fruit or vegetable diet, diet
  comprising of only milk, diet of only raw salads,
  etc will do nothing for the body except sapping
  your energy and making you weak. Maintaining a
  balance in what you eat and exercising every day
  is the only recommended way.

• Chocolate reduces blood pressure and heals
  depression
• The cocoa content of chocolates has a
  hypotensive effect on the body, studies say.
  Though these sweeties do not provide any health
  and nutrition to us, they help release feel good
  hormones and calm us down. Dark chocolate
  especially contains rich, high amounts of cocoa
  that work better than medication on people
  suffering from mental disturbances.

• Four cups of green tea a day, keeps the
  doctor away?

14
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• The trick doesn't lie in green tea but tea
  that is devoid of sugar. When we consume
  beverages like tea or coffee, we definitely add
  two to three spoons of sugar to it. Since green
  tea is just herbs and water, the body doesn't
  receive artificial sugar which in turn doesn't
  settle down as fat deposits in the body.

• Red wine is good for the heart

16
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Moderation is the key. A glass of red wine
  every day, is good for the heart. Consuming a
  glass or two before unwinding the day provides
  plenty of polyphenols, a bunch of good
  anti-oxidants that clean dead cells from the
  arteries and heart walls and flush toxins out.

• Chicken, meat, fish and sea food isn't all
  that healthy too

18

• Unhygienic rearing of farm birds and poultry,
  improper handling of meat and not-so-good storage
  conditions are causing severe ailments in meat
  consumers. Blocked arteries, gut diseases, high
  cholesterol and acidity of the gastric system are
  all due to meat. Legumes, nuts, soy and egg are
  good substitutes for deriving nutrition from meat
  protein.

• Supplements don't work at all

20
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Doctors strictly say that health supplements
  are not in favor of providing health and
  nutrition to the body. Artificial colors and
  sugars, health supplements like vitamin pills,
  health drinks and protein shakes load the body
  with unwanted sugars and salts and cause damage
  to the immunity.

• Eating small meals won't help

22
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• To lose weight, you need to reduce the
  quantity of food but eating small meals every
  alternate hour will definitely not help. Such
  haphazard eating leads to gastric disorders.
  Chuck away all those reports that say eating
  frequently can help you lose weight. Eat only
  when you feel hungry .

• Belly fat is dangerous

24
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Fat in the body is vital for temperature
  regulation and preventing sudden shocks. But
  belly fat is something we all should fight
  against. Don't aim at overall fat reduction but
  target only abdominal fat which is the sole
  reason behind obesity.

• Don't trust labels on food

26
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Food manufacturing companies trick us into
  buying their products by labelling them healthy,
  gluten-free, sugar-free or organic. Just don't
  trust them. Packaged foods contain loads of
  sodium and artificial preservatives that deprive
  nutrition to your family and cause brain damage
  in young children.

• Water is the elixir of life

28
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• We mean pure filtered water but not the water
  in sodas or fruit juices. Drink as much water as
  you can, all through the day to avoid dehydration
  and kidney problems. Water provides zero
  nutrition but immensely cools the body and keeps
  the machine running.

• Organic food is not healthy

30
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• The term organic doesn't mean purely devoid
  of chemicals or healthy stuff. It just means they
  are packaged properly. Organic fruits and
  vegetables are grown in lands that receive water
  like every other farms. So what's the point?
  There's no way we can prevent fertilizer
  inundation in plants and trees. Just eat what are
  available, say nutritionists. Moreover, organic
  food is heavy on your wallet and you will end up
  paying more for something that is not nutritious.

• Junk food addiction is as good as drug abuse

32
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Who's not addicted to junk? Food engineers
  all over the world use dopamine as the main
  ingredient to create junk food recipes. Burgers,
  pizzas, chips and all other junk food is happily
  accepted by the brain as 'the ultimate' food and
  we slowly get addicted, depriving ourselves of
  health and nutrition. Cutting down on junk
  reduces the risk of heart diseases and diabetes.

• Pay attention to your gut

34
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• The intestines are studded with good bacteria
  that digest food easily and send it out on time.
  Many times, the gut flora experience bacteria
  shortage which leads to diarrhea, leaky gut and
  other intestinal diseases. Yogurt, fresh fruits
  and green leafy vegetables contain live strains
  of bacteria that clean the gut. Indulge in these
  foods at least once a week.

• Egg is indeed a complete food

36
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Chicken eggs are by far the most complete
  foods ever for the mankind. Equal doses of
  protein, minerals, good cholesterol and vitamin A
  make it the most nutritious food among many food
  groups that we have.  Make eggs a mandatory part
  of your diet to reap good health and nutrition.

• Think twice about using refined oil

38
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• All kinds of oils we get in the market are
  processed under high temperatures and pass
  through the harshest machines. This procedure
  rips the oil off from valuable nutrition. Its
  just plain oil without any minerals or fatty
  acids. Instead of refined oils, try buying virgin
  olive oil or pure untouched oils.

• Stop counting each and every calorie

40
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Count calories but not every time. In a bid to
  pay more and more attention to our health and
  nutrition, we obsess over calories. If we keep
  counting calories alone, we stop traveling on the
  road to good health and nutrition. Concentrate
  only on eating healthy and nothing else.

• Bananas are powerhouses of nutrition

43
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• There is a wrong notion that bananas add flab
  to the body and shouldn't be consumed by the
  elderly especially those with diabetes. Totally
  wrong! Bananas contain potassium, natural sugars
  and plenty of dietary fiber that help the body in
  digestion and metabolism. Fully ripe, bright
  yellow bananas are extremely good for the
  digestive system and also help in keeping the
  insulin levels adjusted throughout the day.

• Don't throw away potato skins

45
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food

• Quite contrary to our beliefs, potato skins
  are highly nutritious. Since they grow deep in
  the earth bed, they absorb natural silicon that
  is helpful for keeping our hair and skin healthy.
  Silicon also helps in maintaining proper eye
  sight. Now you know why animals have no glasses
  to see better!

• Coffee and tea are good

47
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food
choices

• Most of us are addicted to a steaming cup of
  coffee or tea in the morning and all through the
  day to keep our senses alive. Scientifically,
  they increase brain alertness and contain
  antioxidants that fight free radicals in the
  body. Moderation is the key though, opine health
  workers.

• Don't underestimate the power of cereals

49
Nutrition Facts To Help You Make Better Food

• Whoever said cereals are useless foods cannot be
  more WRONG! A cereal breakfast provides immense
  health and nutrition to the brain by boosting
  blood flow and providing the body with enough
  energy to sustain the day. Corn flakes, oat meal,
  ragi malt, quinoa etc make excellent breakfast
  options.
